Like @bogenschlag I have my stuff in ~/Documents, which is iCloud-synchronised.

So that’s currently three top-level folders:

- [101 Personal](https://forum.johnnydecimal.com/t/my-personal-system/412)
- 102 Johnny.Decimal
- [104 Learn with Lucy](https://forum.johnnydecimal.com/t/johnny-made-a-new-thing-learn-with-lucy/485)

Then in each of those the usual 10-19 etc.

I also have a Synology which is currently hosting most of _104 Learn with Lucy_, now that I think about it.

Some apps, especially those that cloud-sync, like to keep their own files in their own place. MindNode, for example. I generally just let them do this, using the file name to indicate where the thing ‘really’ belongs. I find this just works better.

If I stop editing a file and manage to remember to do so, I’ll then move it out of the shared cloud area and in to its ‘real’ home.
